Amtrak's Hiawatha
Enjoy a trip of ease and comfort aboard Amtrak's Hiawatha.
Connecting Chicago, Illinois, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, travelers
can sit back and relax on an 86-mile route showcasing Midwest
splendor.
Trips aboard the Hiawatha are made in plush side-by-side Coach
seats, which recline and feature ample legroom. Dual power outlets
and complimentary Wi-Fi Internet pair with overhead reading lights
and fold-down trays to create a comfortable travel experience.
Large picture windows present the changing scenery as the route
unfolds. Further, there are two restrooms in each train car. While
there is no food or drink service aboard the train, guests can
bring their own refreshments or purchase snacks and drinks at the
stations.
For riders that desire a more intimate travel experience, there
is a Quiet Car on Amtrak's Hiawatha. This car is open to all
passengers at no additional cost and features an atmosphere that
exudes relaxation. The lighting in the Quiet Car is subdued, though
there are individual reading lights that passengers can utilize if
needed. Conversations must remain at a hushed level, and no phone
calls are allowed. Further, any traveler using electronics is asked
to keep them on mute or use headphones. All of these elements join
together to create a railway retreat between destinations.
Over 850,000 passengers choose the Hiawatha annually for
efficient transportation between Chicago and Milwaukee, with
ridership increasing steadily since the train took the rails under
the Amtrak name in 1971. Bounded in railway tradition and brimming
with all the amenities modern commuters desire, this Amtrak train
makes travel along Lake Michigan's western shore a pleasure.
